ABSTRACT = {
This paper proposes two methods for realising automated reasoning
about agent-based systems. The framework for modelling intelligent
agent behaviour that we focus on is a core of KARO logic, an expressive
combination of various modal logics including propositional dynamic
logic, a modal logic of knowledge, a modal logic of wishes, and
additional non-standard operators.
The first method we present is based on a translation of core KARO
logic to first-order logic combined with first-order resolution. The
second method uses an embedding of core KARO logic into a combination
of branching-time temporal logic CTL and multi-modal S5
plus a clausal resolution calculus for these 
combined logics. We discuss the advantages and shortcomings of each
approach and suggest ways to extend each variant to cover more of the
KARO framework.
